Thanks Ray, found it on the floor, now it's in the recycle bin. SORTED, hahha.

I wish I had a minuscule amount of your artist talent. I chickened out and bought a set of the ID Backscenes products and have fitted them around my layout.

Yes, I have seen one of those, hahah, I think one was married to Rod Stewart at one time.

Now don't get me started on the Stewart bloke.......he owes me a fiver :ireful:

 

Many years ago I paid to see him and The Faces perform at the Rainbow Theater, Finsbury Park. Really good gig.

 

Some years afterwards I was driving trains on my mate's layout in the Horticultural Halls in London. He watched me driving trains. I drove really well.

 

I paid to see him entertain me. He didn't pay me to entertain him. So he owes me a fiver at least.

Perhaps you were not that entertaining?

Compared to Rod Stewart?  Come on!

O.K. Lads, so back in the real world of Model Railways, I'm looking at ways to shorten PYB by a couple of feet. As always, playing with ideas, and solutions to problems.

[PeterBB]

Why would you do that?  especially with 7mm and when its looking so good.  If you must - sell it and start again - now its got an authentic Andy P painted background!

Yes Peter, I think I might sell it. will give that some thought, you never know, someone might want to make me a silly offer, haha.

Nice productive morning, I masked up and covered the Layout, then gave the Backscene a wafting of White Primer to reduce the power of the Blue.

Using my Acrylics I made a start, here is my Art Pallett.

So I made a start on the Welsh Backscene, and going by some Photos for some ideas.

I see you have applied the magic, double like for that. It does feel like somewhere in Wales. You know you have been through there but cannot quite put a name to it. Lovely job.

Cheers Don, I was just looking at the pics again, and some bits I really like, but most is O.K. I was thinking of the Road from Bala out to Porthmadog way for inspiration.

Yes, the A4212 does come to mind, though only one time in ten can you see the Arenigs!  Friday was a magnificent day to drive across Wales, we even had the top down from Borth-y-Gest to Nessclife.  For a change we went over the Berwyns and thoughts turned to the Tanat Valley Light Railway, for which I have an Oswestry Ivatt 2MT, just the ticket!

 

Driving back to Telford on Sunday morning there was a very strange sky, all blue to the east of Birmingham, thick cloud to the west.  Some sort of front, I guess.  But at least it didn't rain.

I saw that as I passed Cannock about 8.30 on Sunday, just before stopping at the Transport Café on the A5 for breakfast, heading west, blue at the bottom, a layer of white rolling cloud and grey rain clouds looming, but no rain arrived.

[Andrew P]

I've decided that I definitely want to sell Pen Y Bont.

 

Remember it's wired for DCC including the Point operation.

Skytrex Low Relief Dairy Building.

No controller or stock is included in the sale.

 

 

It's design will allow an extension beyond the Level Crossing, should anyone wish to do that as well.

Yes I know the road and there was a railway running that way too. I see you have decided to sell are you planning to do a bit more to the scenics first.
